We have all sinned. We have all done wrong. We have all been wronged. Needing forgiveness is a great equalizer in life. Sin should cause the heart to hurt. When we are in the wrong, we need to care enough to seek to make things right.
God's judgment is not cast on a certain society or people group. It is fair and just. He does not get angry easily, but when He does it is scary even when controlled. His discipline is based on love, not hate. If you go to Him humbly and seek forgiveness it will be granted. You can find peace again, but that does not mean that you will not have to face any consequences.
The Holy Spirit pricks the conscience to let us know when we are stepping out of line. If you ignore Him long enough, then you will silence His voice. That is the last thing you want because it leads to a futile life. He is there for the heart and attitude support and alignment. He lets you see your sin for what it is. It is always better to face it, than to hide.
Face it and God's anger will be removed. Confess and your troubled heart will be replaced with peace. Be determined not to live an upright life with passion for justice. Live a life so that when you die you have peace about the future and what you are leaving behind.
Psalm 38
